Two home games on the trot – Ahh bliss to those die hard supporters who travel all over the country supporting the Ealing Trailfinders 1st XV.

Five-try Ealing Trailfinders jumped to second place in National 2 South, having too much pace and power for a determined, but ultimately outclassed Shelford at Vallis Way.

Ealing Trailfinders continued their rise up the National 2 table and secured third spot with a brutal and hard-fought away win at Bristol’s Dings Crusaders.

Two teams are definitely smiling after a fascinating round of matches on Saturday the 10th. Barking, after they kept their 100% record, and Ealing after a tough away-win pushed them above Canterbury into third spot, and with one game in hand. Most games went with current form with the leaders all winning.

Ealing Trailfinders ran out comfortable victors against a Canterbury side that had won three of their four previous games.  The home side managed to touch down a total of 8 tries to secure a bonus point victory which put the defeat at Barking firmly behind them.

Ealing Trailfinders suffered their first league defeat of the season this Saturday, in a game full of tries, away to league leaders Barking. Four first half tries from an unbeaten Barking side, meant that the visitors had to battle to salvage a bonus point thanks to three second half tries from Phil Chesters.

Ealing Trailfinders open their account at Vallis Way in Style. Eight try victory in first home match.

Ealing Trailfinders 1st XV recovered from a 17-10 half-time deficit to record a 32-17 bonus-point win over Richmond in their opening league game of the season.
